Since the user would not be choosing the disto, and the admin would not choose one without a menu, your continued insistance that " if the distro of choice of the user do not have a menu" keeps us exactly where we have been since you started commenting. You are not being sincere in your arguements.
You claimed many DEs don't even have a start menu. You are looking for ways that you could create a bad experience if you tried. This is a discussion on switching work desktops. The users will use the applications that are assigned to them. None of those need have the problems you complain about. So, we are exactly where we were before your last comment. You are not being sincere in your arguments.
This is where it becomes clear that you are not being sincere in your arguments. No one is suggesting finding the worst linix DE to switch out for Windows users. The conversation is about switching out Windows with a DE that behavies almost identically to Windows, including the start menu and key bindings.
A ton of male only gyms got sued out of existance for refusing women members. The only reason that your wife's gym exists as a woman only gym is likely due to the same reason that 'ladies night' happens at bars. No men are interested in spending the money to sue over the illegal behavior.
I am not going to argue the garbage collector point. You are right that it also fits the bill for jobs women tend to refuse to do. My point with the plumbing is that women have an honest to goodness physical advantage when it comes to residential plumbing. Their smaller size means that they can get into places that a larger man simply cannot fit. This can lead to the difference between fixing a leaking pipe, and tearing up the floor, fixing the pipe, rebuilding the floor, and then replacing the floor coverings.
He did mean that, he also was racest. The two are not mutually exclusive. The discussion was about police abusing their power. The fact is, the police abuse thier power against all sorts of people. Saying that we should protect everyone from this abuse, and only protect black people (even if they have gotten the worst of the police abuse) is racist. It is stupid (as racism frequently is). Redmancometh's racism actually agrues against anyone who isn't black from considering police abuse to be a threat to themselves. Thus, he reduces the number of allies every single black person would have outside their own racial group. He would try to have me believe that if I only care about my safety and the safety of my family, beatings by the LA police department are of no concern to me.
That is one of the overwhelming stupidities of racism. It leads people to act against their own best interest because of some twisted sense of morals.
If the KKK went on a rampage as started kill 10 black people a day and 1 chinese, I would most certainly say that they should be stopped from killing people. How could you in good conscious say that they should just stop kill the black people?
It is sexist because getting raped can happen as a means of violence is just as bad as rape performed for sexual stimulation. I get that men getting raped is considered comedy by large portions of our society, but that doesn't mean that your implicit statement that it is ok for men to be raped is somehow not sexist.
YOU are the one who is being overly politically correct. PC culture does exactly what you do. Try to fix only problems that do not effect old, straight and white mails. You invoke Jesse Jackson as an example of someone who is rediculous, yet your speaking points are directly from his playbook. He would be the one arguing that only black people should be protected from abusive police. He would be trying to limit the conversation to "institutionalized racism".
You are acting as a wannabe Jesse Jackson, and yes, Jesse Jackson is a racist.
Getting paid from the time the phone rings to the time the issue is taken care of is not a good deal. If you are on call, you should be paid for being on call. I don't know that I would argue full wages, but certainly having a situation where your private time could be interrupted is providing a service that should be paid for.
I am consistantly shocked by the number of people that don't know salary is not hourly. I have several friends who accept their employer docking them pay when they leave work early, but get no extra pay when they work late because they are "salary".
France has apprently decided that businesses have undue power over the employees and felt they needed to protect the employees. We already have precidence with that here in the US. Even if you choose to sleep with your boss to get a job, it is still violates the law.
I would add that an even stronger self selection bias is created by the factor of who was raised under the premise that they MUST have a job if they want to eat and breed vs. who CAN have a job to eat and breed.
A good example that has always stood out to me is plumbers. While there are some tasks in plumbing that males have an advantage due to there, on average, greater size, but I would argue that there are even more tasks that women would have a greater physical advantage due to their smaller size. An awful lot of residential plumbing involves crawling around in small spaces. Yet we don't see women getting into plumbing.
Wrong. Businesses descriminating against customers based on gender is absolutly against the law. The reason that 'Ladies Night' isn't a problem isn't because it is legal. It is because the law is not equally applied. Try putting a sign in the windows of your business that says "No Blacks Allowed", and see how long it takes for you to get your ass handed to you in court.
You are being racist in exactly the same way that someone would be racist if you said "White people shouldn't have to take their shoes off at the airport." The fact that more women get raped by the LAPD than men doesn't mean that you should exclude them when you are calling out who shouldn't get raped. You went out of your way to declare one specific group, and then one specific gender should be protected from the police. You didn't do it for brevity. You actually wrote more to make your racist point. You may not realize it because you are a racist, but black men are men.
Judges are absolutly a major problem with our police force. The very idea that they take a police officer's word over non-police officer's word sets up a massive inbalance in our legal system that much of our police problems stems from.
You know, you don't have to be sexist and racist to make your point. The police are known for beating PEOPLE to death. Some of them black, some of other races, including white, asian and hispanic. Police have also been know to rape PEOPLE. Yes, men as well as women.
Yes. I would happily have my employer monitor every word I say during every shift I perform where I get to pack heat and take people captive against their will.
I don't have experience with complex CEC setups, but we use RaspBMC with a smartTV and it is the simplest, least kludge setup I have seen since I got cable for the first time in 1976.
One remote to control volume, power, local media and streaming services. It all just works. The only special setup that was required was to turn on CEC on the TV. People can watch TV while I am on the phone. Guests don't need instructions on how to watch TV. Everything just works.

Then you have poor reading comprehension skills. Read it again. Then read it a third time.

Ooops. I thought you were trying to argue that ladies night were legal. On re-reading your original post, I see that I was mistaken.

Yep, Human Shield should be put on many a person's job requirement.

Yes. There are an awful lot of people who can't tell the difference between feminist and misandrist.

What planet do you live on that police don't consider dehuminizing people to be an acceptable form of human interaction?

No, because when I am watching TV is when I would normally have it over on the charger.
I don't have experience with complex CEC setups, but we use RaspBMC with a smartTV and it is the simplest, least kludge setup I have seen since I got cable for the first time in 1976.

So that you have a device that runs for years on a pair of AA batteries instead of needing to keep your remote plugged in.
